Title: Improvements in and relating to the Utilisation of Peat.
IPC: C10F5/00
Filed: 1913-03-10
Granted: 1914-06-10
Abstract: 5873. Rigby, T., Andrew, G. W., and Wetcarbonizing, Ltd. March 10. Peat, preparing.-Heating processes for rendering water expressible from peat are accelerated by adding acids or acid liquors from previous batches of peat, either the temperature, the time, or both being reduced in comparison with those requisite without acid. A few minutes at temperatures under 100‹ C. may suffice if mineral acids such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, and sulphurous are added before or during the heating in amounts giving concentrations of about one-tenth or one-twentieth normal. For instance a peat may be heated with sulphurous acid for five minutes at 60‹ C. instead of for twenty minutes at 180‹ C. without acid. If acid is not added, the required change only takes place after acids have been formed from the peat and any basic materials neutralized. With acid, less nitrogen is found in the liquor. The heating-processes may be those of Specifications 17,610/11 and 17,427/12, and Specification 25,146/12 is also referred to. According to the Provisional Specification, acid need not be added, but the temperatures and times used differ for the different kinds of peat and may be varied inversely. For instance an unacidified peat requiring 20 minutes treatment at 100‹ C. needs onlv one minute at 140‹ C. Specifications 10,834/03 and 20,420/03 are also referred to.

Granted: 1914-11-05
Abstract: 25,283. Savin, J. Nov. 5. Telephone systems.-In systems in which ringing- current is periodically applied to the called line, the ringing-relay is disconnected immediately the called subscriber replies, whether or not the ringing is interrupted at this moment. The invention is shown applied to the automatic exchange system described in Specification 11,964/12. The connector having been adjusted in known manner, the side-switch arm 30 energizes the ringing-relay 37 over an interrupter 65 and contact 66 of the ringing cut-off relay 67. The ringing-current passes from the generator R through a marginal winding of relay 67 to the called line, and thence through a resistance 16 and the battery B to earth. If the called subscriber removes his receiver during the passage of ringing-current, the reduction in the sub-station resistance, together with the establishment of a path for the battery current, energizes the lower winding of relay 67, which locks up over contact 70 and side-switch arm 31, and disconnects the ringing-relay 37. If the called subscriber removes his receiver during a non-ringing interval, the back-bridge relay 36 is energized and closes a circuit for the relay 67 over its upper winding and contact 68; In a modification, the lower winding of the relay 67 constitutes a separate relay, which controls the relay 67 in the same way as does the back-bridge relay 36.

Granted: 1914-11-12
Abstract: 27,239. Norsk Hydro-Elektrisk Kvaelstof-aktieselskab. Nov. 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Acids, concentrating and distilling.-In a process for concentrating aqueous liquids, for example nitric acid, by evaporation and treatment of the vapours with a drying-agent, for example sulphuric acid, the liquid is evaporated by indirect heating, and the vapours are led to the bottom of a drying-column, the middle portion of which is cooled by conducting a part of the liquid away, cooling it, and returning it at a higher part of the column. In the lowest part of the column, the temperature is maintained high enough to free the escaping desiccant almost entirely of the vapour treated. In the apparatus shown, the vapours from the jacketed still 1 pass into the drying-column 2, wherein they meet the down - flowing drying - agent. Liquid is drawn off at the part 11 and pumped back after cooling to the part 14. An additional quantity of cooling-agent, for example nitric or sulphuric acid of suitable concentration, is admitted at the point 15; the supply may be thermostatically controlled.. The diluted desiccant passes out, either directly or through pipes 17, 18 and the still 1, to a denitrating- column 3, wherein it is treated by hot gases or steam. The vapours from this column pass either into a condenser 19 or through a pipe to the drying-column. Sulphuric acid from an independent source may be supplied to the still.
